Loving, Mr Waters

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

MATTHEW
I'm at my house rearranging the chairs in my dining table and trying to decide which fabric to use for the table when Trey sighs next to me.
"Seriously Dad, how many times are you going to rearrange those chairs?" My son ask next to me with his voice dripping with annoyance.
I sigh too frustrated. "I don't know Trey, for as long as I get it right I guess." I tell him staring at the two table cloth on my table which I've still yet to decide which one to use for the night.
"It's just dinner." He rolls his eyes. "Why are you even shifting the chairs around?" He asks giving me his best serious look and I shiver under his gaze.
Yes, my son has that much power over me.
"Thando is coming over tonight." I tell him gauging his reaction but he just stares at me like I'm crazy.
"So? You've never shifted your chairs this much around before." He tells me what I already know. "Unless..She's bringing me a cake? Please daddy, pleeese say she's bringing me her best baked cake for me." He says pleading with me.
"No Trey. Thando is coming over to have dinner with us meaning we're the ones who are cooking for her." I tell my son who frowns in question. "Now, please help me. Which cloth should we use?" I show him the two cloths, one which is gold and the other one which is light pink. His little hand goes to his head tapping thinking and I wait patiently as he decides.
"Well?" I ask after two minutes of silence.
"I'm still deciding dad." He says rolling his eyes. Trey is a perfectionist so he takes all the time in the world to decide on something and always wants to make sure it's perfect. I look at the time noticing that Thando will be here in a minute and decide then the chairs are fine exactly as they are.
"This one." He hands me the light pink one which we put on the table. I look at the dining room one more time then decide this shall do for tonight.
"Is this why we're wearing our best clothes? Is it because Thando is coming over or is it to impress her?" My six year old blurt the words and I can't help chocking on my saliva.
"Jesus Trey, What do you know about impressing someone?" I ask my mind blown by how much he knows.
"Come on dad." He roll those eyes again. "I'm not a child. Is Thando your girlfriend then?" He questions and I'm saved by the doorbell ringing and I thank the heavens for saving me.
"Behave. We will talk more about this." I tell him as I go to open the door but I can't help wondering if maybe I should have had this conversation with him first.
What if he doesn't like Thando? What if I've rushed into introducing them together?
The doorbell rings again and I open it and there stands a stunning Thando on my doorsteps. She's wearing black jeans and a red ribbon top paired with red heals. Talk about those lips of hers, they're painted in red lipstick and I just want to kiss her right away.
Fuck me. My girlfriend is the most gorgeous woman on Earth!!
"Hi." She smiles and my world stands still. This woman is ethereal and she's all mine. I take my time admiring her feeling like the luckiest man alive.
"How about you just take a photo of me? I hear they lasts longer." She suggests biting her bottom lip and my dick gets hard on spot.
"This moment will forever be in my brain. Who wants longer when you can have forever?" I grin at her.
"Please come in." I open the door wider for her and stare at her ass as she walks inside. If we were alone I'm pretty sure I'd have my hands on it and that outfit would be on the floor. We enter the kitchen and find Trey eating his apple playing with his phone but the moment he sees Thando he runs to her hugging her. They embrace one another and the bond they share is visible. Thando loves my son, that I know for a fact and Thando is Treys favorite person after Kayla. All those birthday baked cakes hold a special place in Treys life.
"I've missed you." Trey says as he pulls away from the hug and my girl smiles making Trey blush.
Oh, I know Trey. That smile of hers makes your daddy blush as well.
It's seems like the Waters have good taste when it comes to woman after all.
"I've missed you too Trey." Thando says as she kiss his cheeks. "I got something for you."
His eyes light up in excitement "Can I see?" he asks clapping his hands excitedly. We both wait as Thando hands him a wrapped present which he opens right away. His face lights up with excitement immediately as he sees what's inside.
"No way." He says looking at Thando in surprise. "How did you know this is my favorite ever?"
"A little birdie told me." Thando tells him and he hugs Thando tightly again as he sniffles.
"Well, can I see what it's inside?" I ask him and he goes back to unwrapping his gift then shows me excitedly.
"It's an Astronaut Space Projector dad." Trey says the words as if he doesn't believe that Thando bought him his gift.
"I see buddy. Say thank you to Thando." I remind.
"Thank you so much Auntie Thando. This is the best gift ever! My friends are going to be soooo jealous." He smiles shyly at Thando then hugs her again. I see Thando smile at him then kiss Trey on his cheek.
"You're welcome. I take by your reaction you like it then?"
"Are you kidding? I love it." He beams.
"Then that's great."
"Alright. Since you done with exchanging gifts. How about I get you something to drink?" I ask Thando.
"Please."
"What would you like to drink?"
"Water for now, please."
I pour water for her then hand her a glass. Thando takes a sip but a few water drops down and I want nothing more than to lick every drop. We both stare at each other probably thinking the same thing.
"Can I use my projector now dad?" Trey appears next to me holding his projector protectively.
"Not tonight bud. Remember we're cooking dinner for Thando." I remind him and he nods.
"Well I'm going to watch cartoons then." He doesn't even wait for my reply.
"Aren't going to help with the cooking?" I call for him as he walks to the living room.
"I helped with chopping vegetables dad. I'm tired now." He whines while Thando and I chuckle at his reply.
"I hope you're not starving, dinner will be ready in a few minutes. I apologize for making you wait." I tell her opening the fridge and taking my own bottle of water.
"Please don't apologize. It's all good. I brought this for you." She says as she hands me a bottle of red wine.
"Thank you. I must confess I was a little jealous." I tease her and she smiles.
"Just a little?" She asks looking at me with her bedroom eyes.
"Yes." I tell her walking to where she's standing by the counter and drink water from the cup she's using. My hand find her waist bringing her closer to me. I grab the back of head bringing her closer to me. Our lips meet halfway and I ravish her mouth as my hand find her ass that I squeeze and knead. Thando gasps and the action deepens our kiss as we both moan with pleasure and I thank my son that he has the volume on full speaker in the living room.
"Matthew." Thando says next to me as she tries to pull away but I don't allow her. "We need to behave."
I chuckle in our kiss. "I know. Just kiss me a bit more." I say as I bite her lower lip. We kiss for a good minute before I break our kiss, our eyes full of desire for each other.
"I've missed you so much." I tell her as I touch her smeared lips. "Ah, I ruined your lipstick."
"I'll reapply it but you better wipe your lips before Trey starts asking questions." Thando grins at me. "I missed you too. I'm really glad we're having this dinner."
"Me too baby." I tell her as she takes wipers out of her bag and wipes my lips.
"Now you look presentable." She says as she reapply hers.
"Stop distracting me woman with your beauty I'm trying to impress you with my cooking skills." I tell her and she laughs throwing her head back.
"Excuse you, you kissed me first."
"True." I agree as I stare at her chuckling.
"Can I help with anything?" She offers as she comes to my side her scent all over my kitchen getting me more addicted.
"No. You're my guest so sit down and host you." I tell her shaking my head firmly.
"I feel like you're always feeding me and I've never fed you anything." Thando tells me as she sits on the counter staring at me while I prep everything.
"Oh, you feed me alright. You feed me very well and I promise I'm always satisfied and always want more." I grin at her and she blush.
"Stop. You know what I mean."
"I know very well. But I invited you so allow me. As for you, you can always feed me some other time." I wink at her.
"Count on it. It's smell delicious in here. Tell me, what are you making?"
"Lasagna. One of your favorites." I tell her and her eyes lights up.
"How did you know that's one of my favorite meals?"
"I know a lot about you. Just because I've never shown it it doesn't mean I never payed attention. I notice everything about you sweetheart." I tell her and her lips part in disbelief.
And it's true. Thando has always been one woman I pay attention to. Every time we would or are in a room together my eyes are always on her.
She has so much power over me and she's not even aware of it.
